MARMARIS in TURKEY
Marmaris
Specialising in water sports and sailing, this large and lively
cosmopolitan resort hosts a fantastic choice of bars, restaurants
and nightclubs catering for all age groups. If you enjoy haggling
and bartering, bargains and souvenirs can be found at the weekly
markets & bazaars or relax on one of the nearby stunning beaches.
Experience old Turkish cultures whilst venturing into the narrow
maze-like streets to the newer sophisticated quayside restaurants
at the popular marina, home to some very impressive yachts. You
will find it very easy getting around Marmaris using public
transport.
Cosmopolitan charms of Marmaris, that used to be a fishing village less than 20 years ago, will surprise anyone with a choice of accommodation and entertainment. Marmaris is a Turkish
Rivera. Once you set your foot here you will join its true vacation atmosphere! The old quarter of the town with its bustling bazaars and restaurants are well worth a visit.
During the day, people head for the beach to do
catamaran trips, parasailing, water skiing, sailing, scuba diving and the list goes on! Yet in Marmaris you are not confined to the town beach. Icmeler and its beach is 8 km down the road. Alternatively take advantage of one of
the boats that chug away in the morning from the marina to scores of sandy beaches like Cleopatra's Island and the Turtle Beach.
Once a little fishing port, Marmaris has
developed into one of Turkey’s busiest and most Anglicized resorts. Its port welcomes luxury cruise liners, which disgorge passengers keen to sample the town’s extensive facilities and visit the archaeological sites nearby, just
to name a few - the ancient city of Efes, (the second biggest city of Roman Empire, after Rome); another sightseeing place not to be missed is Pamukkale, that is considered to be the 8th world wonder. And much more! Marmaris also
is South Aegean's prettiest resort for scuba diving.
